Peer Review Process
International Journal of Experimental Research and Review (eISSN: 2455-4855) follow a double-blind peer-review process, whereby authors do not know reviewers and vice versa. The entire peer-review process should be thorough, objective and fair. Journal reputation depends heavily on the fairness of the peer-review process. Peer reviewers (subject related/specialist) are experts chosen by journal editors to provide the written assessment (online system) of a particular format of written research, intending to improve the reporting of research and identify the most appropriate and highest quality material for the journal.
(1) The manuscript should only be submitted using the online system. Author(s) submit an anonymized file without the affiliation & authors' names. Author(s) also send an abstract cum affiliation, authors' names, E-mail, Orcid id, and keywords in a separate file. The manuscript should be submitted online with a cover letter cum Declaration form Reference Checklist Form.
(2) The title, keywords, main body of the text, references, tables, and figures, acknowledgment, funding, conflict of interest, ethical issue, references, and similarity index (plagiarism report by publisher Turnitin software), among other things, are examined by a team that includes the editor-in-chief, deputy editor-in-chief, associate editors, and other board members for acceptability. The incomplete manuscript will not be processed for publication and will be rejected. Manuscripts that are appropriate in every way and prepared in accordance with the author's standards will be forwarded to at least two specialist subject expert reviewers (one from India and another from Abroad) as recommended by the Executive Board and Editorial Board members.
(3) Both eminent Reviewers received a link with the user name and password (reviewers can change the password). When eminent Reviewers enter our PKP-OJS system, they can find two attached files [viz., an anonymized file without the affiliation & authors' names and Reviewer format (evaluation details)]. We have made further improvements to the PKP-OJS system by incorporating a Reviewer Format similar to the one in the online system. Distinguished reviewers can write their reviews directly into the web system, perform a copy-and-paste operation, or attach their files to the appropriate location. The authors' identity is concealed from the reviewers, and the double-blind peer review process is often completed within two to three weeks of the submission date.
(4) The Editor-in-Chief, the Deputy Editor-in-Chief, and their editorial teams check a submission for accuracy in regard to the following three evaluation details (One from the Editorial Board & another from two specialist Reviewers). The manuscript is immediately rejected if it is not appropriate. After reviewing all of the reports, the Editor-in-Chief, the Deputy Editor-in-Chief, and their editorial staff will compile a comment and recommendation report for the manuscript. This will happen only if there is a possibility that the article will be published. The paper's author designated as the corresponding author is the one with whom all communications, including clarifications, corrections, and alterations, are conducted.
(5) It is up to the author (or authors) to determine whether or not to respond to the comments and criticisms made by reviewers as well as the concerns raised by the editor. The authors send the Chief Editor a revised version of the manuscript along with specific information indicating how they have responded to the concerns raised by the editor and the reviewers.
(6) The paper is sent out for review by the Editor-in-Chief. Usually, the paper will be evaluated by at least one of the previous reviewers.
(7) After the reviewers have finished their work, the Editor-in-Chief, Deputy Editor-in-Chief, and Editorial team analyze their suggestions to determine if the paper is ready for publication, requires additional revisions, or should be rejected.
(8) In the event that it is agreed to accept, the article should be forwarded to our production house so it can be published. Our technical staff finishes formatting the manuscript as per our journal as soon as possible.
(9) The Copyright form and only essential charges are accepted at this point.
(10) The technical team formats the manuscript to the appropriate journal style before sending it to the editor-in-chief.
(11) The editor-in-chief keeps track of the manuscript's serial number, key dates (such as the day it was received, accepted, and will publish) and permits provisional doi and check updates (may change before uploading XML format for DOI number & check update submission). The chief editor also sends the journal publisher editing section a message to verify for clarity and proofreading errors.
(12) The article is sent to the corresponding author for one last review before being uploaded and indexed online after receiving the last revision and final version.
The paper is approved based on the reviewers' and editors' recommendations. The Editor-in-Chief, Deputy Editor-in-Chief, and Associate Editors will make the ultimate decision. As part of its objective, the International Academic Publishing House (IAPH) adopts a neutral position on issues treated within this journal.
